Play Marbles
While Marbles wasn’t the most popular game when I was a kid (for some reason, I remember Jacks), we did play it to the point of collecting individual marbles and even used them as antes to enhance the competitive zeal during gameplay. Basically, looking back at it now, Marbles was our Magic: The Gathering, but with zero role-playing, marbles for cards, and a little more physical activity than just drinking a Big Gulp. With Play Marbles, Darkside Entertainment now allows you to relive this small part of your childhood on the iPhone. In a nutshell, it’s a 3D marble game with 3 difficulty levels, 5 game types, 3 game modes (Quickplay, League, and Tournament) and 6 different environments, in which you can use dozens and dozens of different default marbles. However, if you want to spice it up a little, create new marbles using your own existing pictures and if you get tired of playing the improved AI, play against others via the multiplayer mode. Overall, it’s a great facsimile of the classic kid’s game, but without the mess. With solid controls, it’s very recommended for all players, new and old.
